I wonder ... is it that we are from a different generation ? Why is there so much violence today...I know we can ask why for a lot of things that go on today, but I feel so sad each day that I read of all this violence in today's world...who has the answer WHY ??

It's so sad that the world have such little respect for law enforcement anymore or anyone else for that matter. I pray they catch whomever is responsible and they get their due reward of JUSTICE!!! Whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap. My prayers for the family/friends!

It is so sad that the world has such little respect for human life at all. I live in Ohio about an hour and a half away from Chardon were the student opened fire and killed three students earlier this week. I also work in a school system and I am still just sick over this.

I always thought we in the US have things like that happen. Guns are easy to buy here though there are some states which require permits and a waiting period to purchace guns. Violence is everywhere I guess. Prayers for the police officers family.
